You need a provider that can provide a healthy balance between a high volume ofcyber threat intelligenceand targeted threat intelligence.

Alerts

In addition to accuracy, the timing of the information is also important. If you are receiving information too late it may be irrelevant and no longer useful.

Finding a partner who can manage large amounts of data and also provide threat alerts will provide relevant insights and allow you to make better decisions faster.

Make Use of Collected Data

You need to be able to gather IP addresses, malicious domain names, file hashes and other indicators of compromise from an attack on your organization. You must also use that information to quickly identify similar attacks targeting your network in the future.

It’s All About Quality

Most organizations don’t have the manpower to go through the massive amounts of big data and define threats.

The most valuable intelligence is specific to your organization and assets, not only to your geography and industry. There should be a mechanism in place to prioritize alerts. A provider that also offers formal feedback processes can use that information to further enhance the service to your needs.
